Privacy Policy
Your privacy is our priority. Learn how Stumble protects your data and respects your privacy.
Last Updated: May 21, 2025
At Stumble, we take your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our web application and its associated tools. Please read this privacy policy carefully. If you do not agree with the terms of this privacy policy, please do not access the application.
We reserve the right to make changes to this Privacy Policy at any time and for any reason. We will alert you about any changes by updating the "Last Updated" date of this Privacy Policy. You are encouraged to periodically review this Privacy Policy to stay informed of updates.
Stumble is designed with privacy at its core. All of our tools process your data entirely within your browser (client-side), which means:
- Your files, text, and other data never leave your device
- We do not store, transmit, or have access to any content you process using our tools
- All computations happen locally on your device
- You can even use most of our tools offline once the page has loaded
This approach ensures maximum privacy and security for your sensitive information.
While our tools process data client-side, we do collect minimal information to improve our service:
Automatically Collected Information
When you access our application, our servers automatically record information that your browser sends. This data may include:
- IP address
- Browser type and version
- Pages you visit
- Time and date of your visit
- Time spent on those pages
- Other statistics
This information is used solely for analyzing trends, administering the site, tracking users' movement around the site, and gathering demographic information.
Analytics
We may use third-party Service Providers to monitor and analyze the use of our Service:
- Google Analytics: A web analytics service offered by Google that tracks and reports website traffic. Google uses the data collected to track and monitor the use of our Service. This data is shared with other Google services. Google may use the collected data to contextualize and personalize the ads of its own advertising network.
You can opt-out of having your activity on the Service available to Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, tablet, mobile) when you visit certain web pages. We also use similar technologies like localStorage for certain functionalities. These technologies help us enhance your experience, understand how our Service is used, and deliver relevant advertising.
We classify cookies and similar technologies used on our Service into the following categories:
- Strictly Necessary Cookies & Technologies: These are essential for the operation of our Service and enable core functionalities, such as user authentication (e.g., our
patreon_token
cookie that keeps you logged in) and security. They do not require your prior consent but are active by default. Disabling them via browser settings may affect how the website functions. - Functional Cookies & Technologies: These are used to remember choices you make (like your discovery history stored in localStorage) and provide enhanced, more personal features. While they improve user experience, they are not strictly essential for the core service to run.
- Analytics Cookies: These cookies, primarily from third-party services like Google Analytics, help us understand how visitors interact with our Service by collecting and reporting information anonymously. This includes data like the number of visitors, the websites that referred them, and the pages they visited.
- Advertising Cookies: These cookies are used by us and third-party advertising partners like Google AdSense to display advertisements that may be relevant to you and your interests. They may track your browsing habits across websites to build a profile of your interests and show you targeted ads on other sites.
Your Consent: For cookies and technologies that are not strictly necessary (such as those for Analytics and Advertising), we will ask for your consent before placing them on your device. You can manage your preferences and withdraw your consent at any time through our cookie consent banner or settings.
You can also instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, if you do not accept certain cookies, you may not be able to use some portions of our Service effectively. For more details on the specific cookies we use, their purpose, and duration, please refer to our Cookie Policy (or a dedicated section that your cookie consent tool may provide).
We may use third-party advertising companies, such as Google AdSense, to serve ads when you visit our Service. These companies may use information (not including your name, address, email address, or telephone number) about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you.
Google AdSense uses cookies to help serve the ads it displays on our websites. When users visit our website and either view or click on an ad, a cookie may be dropped on that end user's browser. The data gathered from these cookies will be used to help us better serve and manage ads on our site(s) and across the web.
- Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to your users based on their visit to your sites and/or other sites on the Internet.
- Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ad Settings.
- Alternatively, you can direct users to opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info/choices.
For further information concerning Google's privacy practices, please visit Google's Privacy & Terms.
We will seek your consent for the use of advertising cookies through our cookie consent management tool.
We value your trust in providing us your personal information, thus we are striving to use commercially acceptable means of protecting it. But remember that no method of transmission over the internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure and reliable, and we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
Our security measures include:
- Using HTTPS to encrypt data transmitted between your browser and our servers
- Regular security assessments of our infrastructure
- Limiting access to personal information to authorized personnel only
- Processing data client-side whenever possible to minimize data exposure
